West Ham United make move as Everton and Juventus locked in talks over Moise Kean deal
West Ham have reportedly made a move to sign Moise Kean despite Everton and Juventus not seeing eye to eye over his transfer.
According to Italian media outlet Corriere Dello Sport, the Toffees are unwilling to negotiate with the Turin outfit and continue to demand a fee in the region of £27.5million after he spent a season on loan there.
The Hammers are keen to sign a striker this summer and have identified the 22-year-old as one of the options.
Steer clear
Kean may have played for clubs like PSG and Juventus despite being only 22, but he has not impressed in either stint.
There’s a reason why Juventus want him gone after they sign him permanently as they do not want to retain his services.
Even at Everton, despite him being an “Incredible” signing, Kean seldom proved to be a consistent attacker leading the line and the Hammers are better signing players from elsewhere.
They have cast their scouting net wide and large over the last few summers and we expect them to look beyond players in the Premier League.
Sevilla’s Youssef En-Nesyri could be an option that David Moyes would fancy as he offers aerial threat and the ability to consistently find the back of the net.
What West Ham eventually end up doing, remains to be seen, but they surely must look beyond Kean this summer.
